How to Fix Food

My three-part strategy to get started.

I do a lot of whining about all the climate problems with our food system, so in my latest Eating the Earth column I suggest three ways our government can help solve them. If you need a Too Long Don’t Read, the three ways are promoting alternative proteins, attacking food waste and investing in agricultural innovation - and unfortunately, the otherwise climate-friendly Inflation Reduction Act goes 0-for-3.

But it’s not too long, so please do read.

Tamar and I also talked about this stuff in our latest Climavores episode about the global food crisis, and we added a fourth strategy: Kill biofuels. I only mentioned that in passing in the column, because it ain’t gonna happen; the IRA actually expands biofuels. Anyway, please subscribe to the podcast. The response so far has been great.
